Jason Statham Follows Up "Transporter 2" with "Crank"

Statham Takes the Lead in Lions Gate Films' Action-Thriller

By Rebecca Murray, About.com

Sep 8, 2005 - Jason Statham's "Transporter 2" delivered at the box office, breaking Labor Day weekend opening records and more than doubling the opening weekend box office business of the first "Transporter" movie.

Hot off of that success comes the news Jason Statham has signed on to star in the action/thriller, "Crank," for Lions Gate Films.

Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor wrote the script and will co-direct "Crank." The film follows a hit man who discovers he's been poisoned and goes on a rampage through the streets of Los Angeles.

Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg, and Michael Davis are producing the film which is set to start filming next month.
